What Modifications Can I Do?
My friend asked me if I was going to get an aftermarket exhaust system and intake and I said that I had to check if it voids my warranty. I head certain things like lowering your car can void the warranty. I have a 2014 Lexus IS250 F Sport. The car is nice on its own but the sound is a bit too quiet in my opinion (Not hating on F-Sport Exhaust). Please let me know what voids and doesn't void my warranty.
P.S. It's not a lease. I bought the car.

Springs will void suspension warranty, exhaust kills exhaust warranty, etc. they can't deny a warranty claim to the engine because you installed coilovers. Now if you install an intake and your engine sucks up a foreign object from the intake then yes it will not be covered. If you blow a piston ring then the intake had nothing to do with that so its covered.

Mods will NOT void your warranty
Research and google the "Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act". This is a federal law passed to protect consumer.
Basically, the law states that manufacturer can only void the part of the warranty where your mods caused the damage. To do this, the dealer most prove your mod part caused the damage.
For example, if you lowered your car, and engine no longer starts... the dealer must honor the warranty since springs/coil overs did not cause engine to go bad.
You don't have to stick to F-Sport as someone mentioned. F-Sport is nice since it warranties the mod part so if F-Sport suspension fails, you still have suspension warranty from Lexus.
